Also, how did you get your wife envolved? I'm trying to talk my wife into it, but no such luck. Any pointers?

Not only were we on the same team, I believe we won the contest. Let's do the same in the turkey contest.
I haven't looked at that contest for quite awhile because there is no action on there. Maybe I need to pay a little more attention!

After many years, this is her FIRST year ever wanting to be involved.
I am a strict, lean-and-mean, sit on the ground kind of turkey chaser, but for the wife I am setting up a blind. She is not hunting, just watching the process. I think she just finally realized how passionate I am about turkey hunting and decided to see what it's all about..... I'll have her shooting a bird by next year!
As for the 70+ birds, that is a first for me! I have never seen more than 20-30 in a single flock before now.

I see a few of you guys are from down south. I just got back from two work stints down on the gulf, first in Mississippi, and the second in Alabama. Was a nice break as we have been buried in quite a bit of snow this year up here in Chicago area. I did Mardis Gras in Mobile, and went snapper fishing out of Orange Beach. Caught biggest snapper on our party boat at 14.4#. Water was like glass. 0 mph wind.
I'm back home now, but driving down Monday to my public draw turkey hunting area near St. Louis to work for a week. Will get to scout this new area where I drew 2 tags April 7-11.

I'll be hunting Chouteau Island just NE of St. Louis. Been warned of past criminal activity there. But at least I'll have a shotgun in April.

here's a pic of one of my favorite bird hunts a couple of years ago...
This guys was with his ladies in a cut cotton field and I busted the flock up. Set up back in the spot where I broke them up and an hour later, this guy came in to see if his girls were ready to finish their dance. It was a great hunt.
